Best Restaurants for Creative Cuisine in Springfield

Everything here is wonderful. The cocktails are top notch and the quality and preparation of the food is excellent. My only wish would be that they would offer more gluten-free options. Their soy-sauce contains gluten and many items that could be gluten free are off limits if your immune system sees gluten as an invader. That said we enjoyed this dinner here as we have others in the past. Our server Michael is outstanding! He cares for guests with warmth and efficiency that feels personal.

Been a while since I was there and it was nice to be back. Always a great experience.

Everything was terrific! From making a reservation (thank you!!) to the greeting, service and food, all simply sensational. We loved everything we ordered—the three options of onigiri, the egg salad Sando with roe, the yellow tail collar and the beef udon. Truly sensational!!

Fantastic food and the service from Valentino exceptional!

My wife and I are out-of-towners. I reserved a table for two at Deacon's New South for Saturday October 24, 2026 only to learn this day was the restaurant's last day of operation. Despite the fact that all of the employees were going to be laid-off and Saturday was their last day, everyone was very cheerful and attentive. We felt sad for them. The food was really good. The service was great. The atmosphere was relaxing. We wish the staff and especially our server, Hunter, good luck in the future.
